Having hidden myself for half a century caused by (gender diverse) parents that were afraid of what could happen to me if I started living authentically, I now have to deal with having lost a large part of my life.

It just tells me that there is less editing on the route from the heart to the mouth!

Involving ”trans+” in the mix just confuses the issue further, as some defines trans+ as equal to transgender, others as including “trans-adjacent” (including gender non-conforming!), while some redefines transgender to not include non-binary, etc. and lets trans+ include them again.

I have had a childhood ”protected” by genderdiverse parents in denial. I have no idea if this was caused by extreme incompetence or that they felt a need to protect themselves. I had to hide and create a false persona according to my assigned gender to survive.

My father asked me shortly before I underwent an open heart surgery at the age of 10 about my opinion on sex changing surgery. I was not really in the mood to discuss that issue then.

That’s a relief

Are you OK?

If this is a shield under the engine, this is for protection. I daily have to use bad narrow roads, where two family cars passing each other results in both needing to use the shoulder, with deep potholes and big stones, resulting in damaging not only rims but also engines if not protected.

My partner is fundraising so we can leave Britain for Denmark.

Transsexual is deprecated. Historically it has had several different meanings.

Some transelders need to do so to be able to function. Too many years with too low T levels can be a problem.

Google solved the problem for me. On my primary research computer they refuse letting me search unless I first log in - which imprecise to do - resulting in the service having made itself useless.

In the country I’m born in, birth certificates does not contain a gender field. Newer certificates contain a person ID that identifies gender. I was born 7 years before they started creating gender IDs. I’m wondering what would happen if I’m requested to show my original certificate.

I would do anything to be able to help transgender youth in the UK, but unfortunately I am not a British citizen. The only thing I can do is to urge as many as possible to tell their MPs that they are against preventing transgender children Getting the healthcare they desperately need.

Having spent half a century knowing I did not fit my assigned gender - partly because of misinformation and mild conversion therapy - before getting HRT, I have done my best to forget my first puberty. It was an experience I would not wish on even the most evil people in the world.

I just watched the video from Denmark - og whatever country Google think I’m in right now.

I’m born in 1961 and was taken to be gender evaluated in 1966 - you can guess the result. This resulted in me being so scared that I did not come out publicly until 2023. It cost me most of my life!
This is the harm that som governments want to inflict on children today.

While historically most of those that were executed for witchcraft were women, a minority were men.
one of the reasons for being accused for witchcraft was to behave “unnaturally“ - so guess what a transgender person would be seen as.
